Leaders’ Town Hall

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO PRESENT OUR NEWEST FEATURE TO THE SHOW FLOOR

In light of the huge impact of COVID-19 on schools and the education sector as a whole, and with the outcome of the first December election in 96 years, we have introduced a new feature to the show floor. The Leader’s Town Hall will cover the biggest topics being debated and new policies within the sector which will have ramifications on all schools.

As such, the Leaders’ Town Hall will be a ‘Question Time’ style theatre providing visitors and speakers the opportunity to debate, have their questions answered and gain insights on future developments within the sector. 

By joining the Leaders’ Town Hall, you will have the perfect opportunity to have your say on the biggest topics in the sector whilst hearing from experts and policy makers on party manifesto pledges, post COVID-19 schools re-opening, new policies and funding announcements.
